I hope that you are just one of the ones that does not reactivate, for whatever reason, and that you are not having to rely on Copaxone to influence the equation.
Even though I am RRMS, as I've mentioned previously, I have very few, small brain lesions. My lesions are BIG & BAD in the spine though.
I was never offered the CRABs, and when I asked about them, was told they would not help my "type of MS". This is true of steroids as well; there are no trials that have ever proven steroids helpful for spinal lesions specifically.
Whatever this HiCy is doing in your spine (and/or brain), is all good. Whether it is influencing the inflammation in a different way then the CRABs do, or whether it is attacking a different part of the disease process all together, it's working for you. Personally I do not think Copaxone will help things in any way though, just as it not known to for PwPPMS at the moment.
